"So is Gai-sensai actually teaching his students a forbidden jutsu, sensai?Sakura asked.
"I honestly don't know Sakura, knowing Gai, he could be doing anything." Kakashi shuddered at the thought.
"WELL LET'S GET TO IT! I WANNA LEARN A NEW JUTSU TOO! BELIEVE IT!" Naruto hollered. Kakashi sighed. This is exactly what he was afraid of. He knew that his team was too ambitious to be content with regular jutsus and standard training exercises. They wanted something that they could show off to the world. Kakashi thought for a moment, 'what could I teach them to make them believe it's a forbidden jutsu, when really it's just a regular technique?'
"So you want to learn something extraordinary, huh? Well so be it. I have a special jutsu that will prove to everyone that you guys are the best of the best." Kakashi smirked under his mask. 'They're eating this up. Even Sakuke is taking an interest.' Sasuke slowly stood from beneath a large tree, his eyes blazing with interest. 'Of course Sakuke would want to be an exceptional Shinobi, if that's what it takes for him to beat his brother.'
"-en people will stop disrespecting me. They'll treat me like I'm somebody, somebody important! OUCH!" Naruto yelled as Sakura hit him over the head.
"EVERYONE IN KONOHA HAS HEARD YOUR STUPID SPEECH ABOUT BEING HOKAGE ONE DAY! I AM TIRED OF HEARING YOUR DUMB VOICE!" The two Genin started wrestling on the ground. Kakashi sighed again. The two children could not get along. Sometimes Kakashi felt more like a babysitter and less like an elite trainer.
"Okay, I've got it, everyone please have a seat." Kakashi motioned to the ground in front of him. Taking a seat, the three young ninjas prepared themselves for the information they were about to be given. "It seems to me that you three are very adept at offensive and defensive jutsus, but when it comes to tactful and informative jutsus, you guys suck."
"Hey-," Naruto managed before Sakura hit him again.
"I don't like to admit it, but my team knows nothing about spying and gathering information. That's why I'm going to teach you a very special jutsu, the art of following or observing a person persistently.
"Um… sensai, isn't that what people call um… stalking?" Sakura stammered.
"You are absolutely correct Sakura! There are very few shinobi that have mastered the skill of artfully following someone until they go crazy, including me. That is why I am passing this skill onto you, in hopes that you will learn it better than me." Kakashi grinned at them through his mask. He didn't actually think the students would buy it. He just hoped to embarrass them. 'Well I suppose the joke is up.' "Okay students-"
"THAT IS TOTALLY SWEET! AWESOME SENSAI, WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE TOLD US ABOUT THIS EARLIER?" Naruto was practically hyperventilating from excitement. The joke wasn't up. The three hadn't realized that Kakashi was completely kidding when he revealed the "secret jutsu". Kakashi walked over to a tree, and began beating his head against it repetitively.
"Stupid, little-"
"Um… sensai… aren't you gonna teach-"
"Dumb, brats-"
"Hello? Are you alright-"
"GAH!" Clutching his head Kakashi stumbled back towards his students. "Alright, let's begin." 'This is going to be fun.'
